Lasting for six days from the 7th June 2008 to the 13th June 2008 , the Global Citizenship (GC) study tour to Paris and London was a successful and fun-filled experience. Lead by Ms Marlina Binte Mastor and Mr Toh Kee Heng, the lecturers, the group of 30 Financial Business Informatics (FBI) students had a great time experiencing the rich culture and history of London, and shop in the hyped-up Paris.The purpose of this trip was to have a cultural exchange with the locals, and to apply what we have learnt during the GC lectures and tutorials in real time situations, which in this case, is the overseas trip. Some of the highlights of the trip were taking a Ferris wheel ride on the London Eye, a cruise night tour around the Eiffel Tower and visiting the University college of London, the Bank of England Museum, Thomson Reuters and having fun in Paris DisneyLand.Footsteps were left behind while memories brought back to Singapore. This study tour is really beneficial in providing me an actual real fact of how living in London and Paris were like, especially in Paris, where we get to live in a hostel. Moreover, our lecturers have also given us the chance to ask around the locals and interact with them. The tour is also offered us a sense of freedom as we get to tour around the city to spend a day on our own doing the activities that we love to. For instance, entering the horrifying London Dungeon and to shop and have our own lunch around the shopping malls, cafes or pubs.In conclusion, I would like to end off my report with some of my personal reflection. Being as a first time traveler to overseas has really widened my horizon and enlarges my vision and thinking. Furthermore, the feeling of traveling to the other side of the world with my best friends and to spend quality time with them really makes this journey an awesome one.
